After leaving college, Alison was unsure of her career path and eventually found herself working in accountancy, a profession she remained in for 18 years. While this provided stability as her children grew up, it was not something she truly enjoyed.

Sporty by nature and always fascinated by the human body, it had never occurred to her that she could turn this passion into a career.  However, following major knee surgery and a period of reflection, she made one of the most significant decisions of her life…. to change career paths.  That marked the beginning of a new journey.

In 2019, Alison began studying Sports Therapy in York as a mature student, later completing a degree in Physiotherapy at Sheffield Hallam University in 2023.

Alison has since gained experience working in sports settings, including with the Bradford Bulls rugby league team and Sheffield United Women’s Football Club.

Over the past 18 months, Alison has worked as a Physiotherapist within the military treating servicemen and women, seeing a wide range of typical musculoskeletal conditions and overuse injuries specific to the military setting.  

Hobbies:

Alison enjoys spending time outdoors and is passionate about paddleboarding, cold water swimming, jogging, going to the gym, and reading.
